About Alby
Sweet and shy, young Alby is a beautiful kelpie boy finding his way in the big wide world.
Alby came from a remote farm and into foster care as a young pup, with very little exposure to humans or life experiences. In foster care, Alby has been slowly building his confidence, helped along by the resident dog pack who he loves! He is still timid around humans, but is realising that he actually loves a chin scratch and getting a treat. While this young fella has come along in leaps and bounds, he will need a special home with a kind and patient family willing to commit to bringing him out of his shell.
Even though Alby is timid and wary, when he doesn’t think you’re watching he is cheeky and playful, often zooming with the resident dogs and playing with the ball. He has a lovely personality and when he lets his guard down, loves a gentle pat. Alby gains a lot of confidence from playing with his doggie pals and will need a home with another dog who can show him the ropes. He loves to run, wrestle and play, so doggie pals that are young and fit enough to match his energy are best suited.
Alby is not suited to urban life and is currently better matched to a home without young children while he works on becoming more self assured. He is not a dog that will enjoy a busy 'hustle bustle' life. He is not a 'cafe' dog and prefers a quieter life. A rural or regional setting would suit him best. Alby is in foster care with a cat and shows mild curiosity but no prey drive. He has been around fenced horses without incident.
If you have a loving and patient home, and want the satisfaction of seeing Alby blossom into an even more beautiful boy, please apply today!

Adoption details
To apply to adopt a dog from Dogs4Jobs, you must firstly complete our adoptions application form in full at https://dogs4jobs.com.au/adoption-process-forms/.
You can also write out your answers and email them to dogs@dogs4jobs.com.au
*Please note, due to the high volume of applications received, we will not respond to Petrescue chat messages, or enquiries to adopt a dog. You must complete our adoptions form to be considered for the dog or pup, and we will respond to this form via our email.
We will then request to complete a yard check, or for you to send in photos of your yard showing the fencing, space, shelter and any hazards etc, to confirm it is safe and secure, as well as adequate space for a working breed dog.
Following this, we will then put you in touch with the dog/s foster carer/s that you are interested in, to chat further over the phone, about whether the dog is a good fit for your family, and vice versa. We are searching for the perfect match for each dog and their needs. We offer interstate adoption on all of our dogs.
